EDITORS COMMENTS
"This exquisite oil painting captures the serene beauty of a young baby, fast asleep with a dummy in her mouth, nestled against a soft, lush green surface. The portrait, created circa 1920, showcases the delicate features and peaceful expression of the infant, her rosy cheeks contrasting against the muted tones of the background. The use of color in this artwork is masterful, with the verdant hues of the surface providing a calming backdrop to the baby's tranquil form. The baby's attire, simple and elegant, adds to the timeless quality of the image. Her tiny hands are folded gently in her lap, and her eyes are closed in deep slumber, suggesting a sense of contentment and security. The dummy in her mouth, a common comfort object for infants, adds a touch of authenticity to the scene, making it all the more endearing. This beautiful portrait, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the painter, Hippolyte Daeye. The intricacy of the brushstrokes and the attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the painting, from the baby's fine features to the subtle textures of the surface. This artwork is a rare find, transporting us back in time to a simpler era, where the beauty and innocence of childhood were celebrated in all their glory. The soft, muted tones and the peaceful scene make it an ideal addition to any home or office, serving as a reminder of the simple joys of life and the beauty of the natural world." Volume 12, April, of the magazine where this painting was published is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social norms of the time. The inclusion of this painting in the magazine speaks to its enduring appeal and the importance of preserving such treasures for future generations to enjoy.
